Projected lines for Penguins ahead of Game 3 against Philadelphia look a bit different

Based on Wednesday's morning skate, the Pittsburgh Penguins appear to be making some changes to their lineup ahead of Game 3 in Philadelphia after going down 2-0 to start the series.

It looks like forward Elmer Soderblom is out, and Justin Brazeau will take his place in the lineup. There was also some shifting around with the forward lines, as Egor Chinakhov and Anthony Mantha have swapped between the second and third lines.

In addition, Sergei Murashov was recalled as the team's emergency goaltender:
